died in 1991. Since then, the world has changed dramatically. The internet has killed mystery; smartphones have killed the supernatural. Yet Singer’s work is experiencing a quiet resurgence.
It was a fitting tribute for a writer who served as the final, flickering candle of a civilization that had been extinguished in the ovens of the Holocaust.

Isaac Bashevis Singer (1902–1991) was a Polish-born author who became the most celebrated Yiddish writer of the 20th century. He is best known for his "impassioned narrative art" that captured the vanished world of Polish Jewry while exploring universal themes of faith, desire, and the supernatural.
